$A$ body of mass $0.5\; kg$ travels in a straight line with velocity $v=a x^{3/2}$ where $a=5\; m^{-1/2} s^{-1}$. What is the work done (in $J$) by the net force during its displacement from $x=0$ to $x=2\; m$?

$A$ balloon filled with helium rises against gravity,increasing its potential energy. The speed of the balloon also increases as it rises. How do you reconcile this with the law of conservation of mechanical energy? You can neglect viscous drag of air and assume that the density of air is constant.

$A$ force acts on a $3 \,g$ particle in such a way that the position of the particle as a function of time is given by $x = 3t - 4t^2 + t^3$,where $x$ is in metres and $t$ is in seconds. The work done during the first $4 \,s$ is ..... $mJ$.

State the importance of the work-energy theorem. Is the work-energy theorem a scalar or a vector?

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
To an observer $A$,the net work done on the block is

$A$ student of mass $M$ is $1.5 \,m$ tall and has her centre of mass $1 \,m$ above the ground when standing straight. She wants to jump up vertically. To do so,she bends her knees so that her centre of mass is lowered by $0.2 \,m$ and then pushes the ground by a constant force $F$. As a result,she jumps up such that the maximum height of her feet is $0.3 \,m$ above the ground. The ratio $F / Mg$ is (in $.5$)
